Working with Video

It’s pretty amazing that we can create so much with something that fits in our pocket. Our mobile phones have more computing power than any home computer of previous generations. The ability to capture photos and videos with these devices has completely reshaped our memories and experiences.

The other thing that excites me the most about this technology is that it allows every single one of us to share our stories. Before, the practice of moviemaking was only available to those who had the means to buy the expensive gear. Now, almost every phone comes with a high-quality camera. And because everyone has a phone, everyone can be a visual storyteller.
